How should AI and machine learning be defined for legal purposes? What are the consequences of different definitions? Think about different dimensions, e.g.,

technology-based regulation vs. risk-based regulation
regulation vs. co-regulation vs. self-regulation
hard law vs. soft law (e.g., international standards)
international regulation vs. national regulation

❓

Does the regulation of the internet provide a helpful analogy to the regulation of AI?

The early internet was largely unregulated in the United States (e.g. no enforced sales tax on ecommerce; no speech liability for platform providers; no treatment of ISPs as utility providers) - what are the most compelling rationales for treating AI differently?

❓

Much of the concern around AI considers a “hard takeoff” scenario for AGI, what if any current legal tools would help minimize a hard take off happening and/or going badly?

❓

How open to competition should the AI development process be? Are their risks in trying to define AI research and development broadly and regulate it? What does regulation of non-public advances even look like? How is this different than arms control?

❓

Could the recognition of rights for AI create a moral hazard for designers or parties who would otherwise be held accountable?

❓

Would a windfall clause be legal in your country/jurisdiction? Can you think of other ways to distribute the benefits from AI?
